I just got one of these at Walmart on clearance for $12! I was so excited, it only needed to be staked up, cleaned, and repotted :) Her variegation is so lovely and cute, definitely my luckiest find!!
Seriously?! That’s a crazy good price. I just got mine today and I bought it for 40 dollars. It’s been a wishlist plant for so long, because I wanted to gain more experience with common Philo’s before I got a more expensive philo. like the PPP. Can’t wait to see mine grow and see the variety of variegation I will get.
Also got mine on sale at Walmart for $4
“Burgundy princess” is what a lot of shops are labelling their low variagation PPP. I appreciate lowering the price but the name is stupid
lol agree about the name.. just call it a PPP
Great overview on PPP. I find their leaves more sensitive to light and burning than most philodendron so getting that balance right is tricky. I bought mine for $300 at the height of pricing in 2021. Hubby got a mature Burgundy for $120 and now his throws out solid pink leaves every 6 or so and is 7 feet tall. Burgundys can come back. . . .full force! They are such stunning plants and every leaf opening is a true adventure! 🎉 💖
18:13 killed me. Super informative video and great sense of humor! I am definitely subbing for more of this. Keep up the amazing work!
I bought mine at my local Kroger Grocery store for $35.99 including the cute little ceramic pot. She recently popped out a gorgeous half pink leaf
Damn. They're between 2 euro for very small up to 15 euros for big ones at my garden centre!
Just got a small PPP for 2 Euro in the Netherlands last weekend and appreciate the info to make it thrive :)
What a deal!! Glad I could help you with your new plant :)
I used a humidifier next to my PPP and it actually rotted a few leaves away. The rotting stopped when I removed the humidifier. My room humidity is about 40% during summer, so far so good.
Thank you for this comment cuz I was just about to buy a humidifier for my plants 🙏🏽 Humidity in my makeshift greenhouse peaks at about 65% so I'm gonna stick with that
@@heychey227 Glad to be helping! I'm no expert but your humidity seems more than fine. I learned that PPP's don't like any water on their leaves and that makes them rot easily.
Great tips for this beautiful philodendron. Great videos too by the way. Nice job keep up the good work!
That moss pole is everything!
I've been seeing some of these around town and hadn't picked one up until now. Last night, I saw one that was ALL green with zero pink on it, and the thought of how excited I'll get when it gives a pinky leaf was too much to pass up. Ty for the video!
Bought one today. Already love her 🩷
I love your energy and love that every time you mention a price reduction on a plant is positive as we all get to enjoy them.
Curious: what are your thoughts on the pink princess 'Marbel' they supposed to have more stable verigations and kinda look more like the Thai constellation.
Also I think the growth pattern is actually slightly different, with leaves growing closer together 😊
I bought a 'burgundy' princess last month. From what I understand from the plant shop I got mine from, they are just PPP that have reverted. Varigation can come back on them but it can take a long time so they sell it for less. At least that's what I was told. =)
Yeah I guess maybe.. mine had pink on it when I got it though... so 🤷♀
@@GoodGrowing Yep, mine too. I'd gotten a big boi in and 8 inch pot. On mine, the stem was mostly burgundy with only a small bit of pink variegation on it mid-way up, and only a pale 3" splash of pink on a single leaf. The rest had very small and faded varigation.🥺🥺Compared to the baby PPP in a 2" pot I have, with it's big patches of darker and lighter pinks that are up the stem and on the leaves, my burgundy big boi is definitely very lacking the oomph of color. I've been trying it under grow lights in the last few months in hopes that the variegation in stem and leaf will come in bolder, but for me so far it's really determined to be a burgundy boi. *sigh*
I should mention what I paid (in Can $) for mine. The 2" pot PPP was $45😮 , and the 8" pot Burgundy was $28. Can I just say OMG plant prices be crazy.
@@CaffeinatedCanadian hmm maybe the tiny ones I first got were burgundy ones then because I could not for the life of me get them to put out more variegation 🤷♀ I guess we just have to persist or move on
Love your video, esp with the topic page 👌breaks
Could you use like a pvc pipe in your moss pole with holes drilled in it ? I have the smaller pp should I have a little moss pole loved this video
I just picked up a few from my local Home Depot for $26. I can’t wait until mine get bigger like yours. 😀
omg amazing! I hope they grow well :)
Couldnt you put an irrigation hose down through the moss pole to get it all the way through?
Omg that was so funny. When you said hello motorcycle my neighbor was driving by on his🤣
what timing! 😂
This plant I love it burgundy an grow very slow I was caring for it an the whole too came off so I put it in a trunk to grow as in the wild an doing great so let's see even the light under a tree indirect sun outside guess the bottom will grow so I will have 2 plants now but the growth slow slow😊
My pink princess is only growing green leaves. How can i get it to put out pink leaves. I have it in indirect light
I have a peat moss compound that I put in soil and my plants seem to like it but do you think that would work for propagation?
I'm not too sure. Is that the same as sphagnum moss?
Tell me any tips to make the leaves turn pink?
Mine was named Birkin...I'm pretty sure ot was just in the wrong pot! I have seen the Burgundy label amd wondered what it meant!
Hi Emma! Love your PPP. I don't have one, I don't love the growth patterning, having had other similar philos. Maybe I'll get a white princess though, Claires one is gorgeous.
I have a question re Pon, I've recently been converting a LOT of plants to leca and pon, the only one that seems bothered was my alocasia silver dragon, it dropped half it's leaves. Anyway, I've put my verrucosum and syn albo in pon on moss poles, and I'm wondering if you've done that where you've had the moss below the pon level, and whether you've had any issues with rot? It seems like such a great option for keeping the poles moist and honestly my verrucosum is growing insane aerial roots, but am I going to find the moss rots within a month? Any thoughts?
Also I'm not sure if it was you or not but two youtubers both recently mentioned not being able to put multiple cuttings into the same pot in pon, and I'm curious why not? I have done so with hoya, and seem to be having no issues, why would that be?
Sorry for the mega post ;) Thanks for the great video!
Also re the pink congo - it is not the only plant that is being sold with the chemically induced pink - I've seen pink micans as well (although i believe there IS a pink variegated micans out there, it has normal variegation, not where the whole leaf is variegated). where the whole plant is pink. Definitely look out for any plant that is completely pink - it's not what you want anyway, a plant that is fully variegated, even without the chemical inducement is not producing chlorophyll and therefore isn't going to be able to support itself and will probably die.
Alocasias can be quite sensitive plants so changing their environment in such a big way is a risk. I have a feeling yours is just feeling stressed and will take a minute to get used to it's new home. I don't put the moss below substrate level on any of my pole plants. I end up filling the bottom of my poles with pon or orchid bark depending on the substrate. I'd be too afraid of it wicking all the water away too quickly and drying out the pon faster. But I've not tried it, so if your verru is happy, don't stress!
@@crochetqueen6440 I had no idea about the pink micans! defo going to steer clear of that!
They are so pretty with that pink variegation! Yours looks so happy ☺️
I saw some at a nursery recently, and they were selling fairly large PPP for $80, but they all appeared to be reverted. I can’t help but think of a comment I once saw, saying that “If a Philodendron pink princess reverts, it become a burgundy peasant” haha. This is why I can’t really see myself buying one…yours is gorgeous, but I would be worried about it reverting and having dropped a pretty penny on it.
yeah that's a pretty good price for a large plant! You can combat reverting by chopping down below the last variegated leaf. Then it should grow from a variegated growth point. It's not 100% guaranteed but defo possible to bring them back
@@GoodGrowing I didn’t know that, thank you! Maybe I’ll pick one up after all :)
from what i’ve read about PPP the variegation is stable so even if one is putting out all green leaves it still can put out pink it will just all depend on the plant for how long it takes and it can take a while. there are some different resources online if you just search for stable PPP variegation some different places talk about it!
it all depends on the stem!! so look for small lines where the leaves grow!
The small part we see looks good.
I have a philodendron burgundy. However, it's mostly green with little variegation or pink leaves. The stems are burgundy color and oozes red wine type liquid when the leaves are cut. Not sure if it's the same as a PPP. Is this type of philodendron plant safe for dogs?
I think the burgundy is what sellers call a very low variegated pink princess. Depending on your plant, you may be able to coax more pink out. The care would be exactly the same though. And yes it is toxic to dogs, so don't let them consume it
@@GoodGrowing Thanks Emma for your reply. Upon further research on Picture This app, my plant seems to be Philodendron 'Imperial Red'. It is not a climber like PPP. I've never fertilized the plant, so will try it now, hopefully to bring out the red color esp in the new leaves. I still hope to get a small PPP within my budget or a leaf cutting to propagate in water. Thanks for the tip about the Pink Congo. 👍
just bought one in the local supermarket for like 5 pound :D like a foot tall
I am very curious to know what is at the top of your Moss Pole that you're using the water it? Or is that what it's for?
I don't remember what it is in this video but I use a plastic cup with pinholes poked in the bottom. So I can fill that up with water & it will slowly drip into the pole hydrating it
just got my first lil bby pink princess 🪴
🙌
A big plastic syringe and just inject water into the pole every couple of inches! I think that would be a good and easy way to keep the moisture even
What materials did you use for your moss pole? It locks great and quite stabil 👀
I use poles from Grow Vertical, an australian company
@@GoodGrowing thanks so much, well that's even more convenient than making one yourself. Is there any way that these could be extended?
@@miriates6065 Yeah you can extend them by adding a second one on top and zip tying it in. The pole in this video is actually two stuck together as I didn't have one tall enough alone
@@GoodGrowing Nice! I'm definitely going to look into these moss poles but I guess any higher than yours is, is risky, right?
@@miriates6065 you can put a stake or a rod at the back for further stability. Have a look at sydney plant guy's poles. They're taller than he is!
They are 150 nz dollars in New Zealand.luckly I got mine last year for 60.00.now that it's spring.growing now
I'm sure they'll go down further soon
Question.what fertilizer do you use.?im using seaweed.not doing much
@@waikatoplants3059 I use liquid gold leaf
I know this is an older video, but can you try to grow a PPP on a moss pole that has not pushed out aerial roots just yet?
absolutely! better to start earlier than later!
@@GoodGrowing thank you so much for your reply 🤍
I don't have anything on poles yet, still researching. Why aren't there any poles made of oasis like the florist use? You'd think that would be ideal due to its water retention.
Has anyone tried this?
hmmm that's an interesting thought. I think the main issue with that is the roots would struggle to grow into it and there's not really oxygen inside to help keep them healthy and balanced. Defo worth looking into more though
@@GoodGrowing ah that makes sense 👍
Thank you for your reply
Really love your videos
💜
What moss do you put in the moss pole?
.. Spagnum moss..
nice
so, is it safe to assume that dark pink is pink princess, but if it's whitish pink, rose I guess, then it's a fake, and will revert back to green?
no it's about the difference in the plant. The pink congo isn't a pink princess. If you see a 'ppp' with entirely pink leaves at the top but entirely green leaves at the bottom I'd beware that it was actually a pink congo
Have you already talked about regular philodendron plants?
I have some philodendron care videos but there’s so much variety within philos that it’s tough to do a broad one. Is there one in particular you want the care for?
@@GoodGrowing I’m sorry after looking into it better it’s actually not a philodendron that I was curious about, it’s more commonly named devils ivy or golden pothos?
👍
Got my 6 inch pot for $50. Tons of variegation
what a deal!!
Why not show the whole plant? All we see is that one view of the pink leaf. What does the bottom on the plant look like, the pot? How many stems are there?
9.13 shows the bottom of the pot.. She did say as the very first, that the plant is so big it's heavy to lift, it was sitting on her calf.. She did actually show several leaves, not just the one on top..
I paid 2 euros for my small pink princess at the garden store.
You barely seem to have a British accent. I thought you were American or Canadian first but the longer I listened I was a bit confused and then you said “pounds” instead of money and it all made sense! Lol. Anyway, thank you for the PP tips. I have two and they are fast growers!
Haha it comes in waves! I’ve got a whole repot & chat explaining my accent 🙃
@@GoodGrowing awesome!
❤️ I love philodendrons, but unfortunately I can't have them in my household ❤️
oh no! why not?
@@GoodGrowing because one of my cats is suicidal 🤦♀️ I've had to give away 5 plants because of her
@@plant_hooker1 ah yes that would do it... sorry to hear that!
